iBOOKLIGHT Reviews

by Lilirayb

I bought the remove logo and change hues in app purchases. I can find no information about how to change the hues. I’ve tried everything I could think of to change the hues. Hues means the color, right??? All I am able to change is the brightness. Waste of money 😡

This isn’t even an app. It’s just a white screen.

I know this is free, but the point of a book light is to read.... iBOOKLIGHT is more like a quick flash light app or something I don't want to be in bed trying to let my hubby sleep and have to touch the screen I can use any app and keep touching the screen I like the dimness it allows ppl next to u to sleep! But, please fix the whole touching the screen stuff thank you!!! I would even pay for a good light that wasn't too bright and or doesn't need me to touch my screen while trying to read! Now I just don't want to read with this light wow!!!!

I really liked iBOOKLIGHT until the maker got money hungry and started putting ads on it. It USED to stay lit until you pressed your home button, but now, it fades out just like every other app would if you weren't actively using it. I really like how when you go to the itunes store and try to go to the website for support, it redirects you to a website builder. don't waste your time with this one. it used to be awesome, but now it's lovely white screen gets covered with ads... ug.

I have used iBOOKLIGHT for years. For a basic book light, it works great, especially with the new upgrades (you can now adjust the brightness from within iBOOKLIGHT , and the screen won't time out anymore). However, putting a talking ad on an app primarily designed to avoid waking sleeping companions, is poor planning. The Google icon is far too easy to brush with your hand when positioning the phone and doing so immediately starts a talking ad. Please reconsider which ad is on your app, or at least how you select to start playing it, in order to keep it functional for those of us trying to be courteous at night. Thanks!

A good light once I learned its features. If I'm not mistaken, iBOOKLIGHT costs $2.99. This won't break the bank, but why is there an Am Ex banner at the top, partly blocking needed light? The context of the banner changes so frequently it becomes annoying as I can see it out of the corner of my eye. I thought paid apps didn't include ad banners, or is that wishful thinking?

I don't really understand the
advantage of iBOOKLIGHT. I mean I could always use iBOOKLIGHT ,notes ,to write down my page and my screen as a light. I think this gives you what you ask for though,so it's pretty reasonable. My advice is if your just looking for an easy source of reading light on your phone you should get iBOOKLIGHT.

Ok ~ so not the best, but worked for me in a pinch. Picture: up at night in a hotel room w my family (3 sleeping children) I did not want to wake w a bright lamp. Forgot my booklight and needed to read to get back to sleep. This was just bright enough to read w book about 6" away & phone against my shoulder. It does go into a sleep mode every few min but I just tapped the screen & popped rt back on.

Love iBOOKLIGHT...was able to figure out how to keep it for shutting down settings>general>auto lock>never...also able to change brightness of light settings>brightness>adjust up or down for your reading preference... I am not sure what the text box is for but have started using it for my page number I stopped reading on just in case my bookmark fails me:-) happy reading!

Perfect for my needs. I’ve been using it off & on for quite a long while, anytime my regular book light dies or goes missing. It’s great for reading in bed, I just lie my phone so it shines up onto my page. I like it so much & have relied on it so often over an extended period of time that I’m kinda bummed it’s got only 3 stars.

You need to adjust the "auto lock" located under "settings" and then "general" in order to adjust your phone so the light doesn't shut off. The brightness can also be adjusted within iBOOKLIGHT itself, which is great. No more measly booklights as this functions perfectly.

I never really thought about something like this.... but, one day I was tired of reading my book and having to get up and turn off the light! So I looked up book lights on iBOOKLIGHT Store and of course this popped up and have been working great since! I totally recommend it! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I've used this for a while and have never had any problems with it. I don't know why there are so many one star reviews. iBOOKLIGHT definitely serves the purpose it promises. It's pretty much just a white screen, so if you wanted an elaborate light app you should probably look elsewhere. Does exactly what it's supposed to though! :D

by Marinsk8er

It's great. I had none of the problems that anyone else had, the only difficulty was being able to place it on my chest because I read on my back in bed. But although it isn't the most helpful, I think it is the best app that there is. No improvements need to be made to iBOOKLIGHT . I recommend it.

iBOOKLIGHT is one of those things in life that "just works". No confusing setting, no crashing, it just comes on and stays on. I own one of those clip on book lights and I have always found the light to have annoying hot spots and shadows. The quality of light that iBOOKLIGHT produces is soft and shadow free. Easy on the eyes.

So im glad i read reviews before missing out entirely. DEVELOPER SHOULD INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS! Took me about 15min to figure out how to use. Turn up screen brightness and go to ur phones settings>general>auto lock> never or a longer period of time. The light comes off screen. Put in ur shoulder or face up in stomach n tilt book...great idea, too bad people jump to conclusions too quick. I still dont know what txt box for tho (yet)

by CosmosDaddy

Exactly what I needed. Use it every night.

by Happy Appy

Thankful for the perfect amount of light to read with. I love being able to adjust the colors!

Best light ever! Amazing! It’s perfect for night readers, and good for seeing things in the dark! Couldn’t ask for more!

by Peterbilt_chik

I love iBOOKLIGHT! Have never had an issue with obnoxious ads, never an issue with settings (there is a brightness setting/option right on the screen)! My husband goes to work before 2 am so he is asleep when I like to read. It's perfect for that! I had deleted iBOOKLIGHT accidentally and was LOST without it, for several days!!
